It's a Family Thing

Most of you are aware of the sacrifices that the family makes during session. You cannot serve without the full support of the family. As a family we are truly honored to serve our area as well as the state. It's a difficult but extremely rewarding opportunity. The education that the kids have seen and experienced is beyond anything they could learn in the classroom.

Texas State Representative Kelly Hancock Biography

Kelly Hancock’s commitment to serving began just as he and Robin started their family. A leader with a positive, “can do” attitude, Hancock made the decision to run for the Birdville School Board shortly after the birth of their first child Chloe. After graduating from Baylor University, Hancock returned to Tarrant County and immediately began serving in the community through civic and religious organizations. Hancock has received recognition for business as recipient of the Tarrant Business Press “Top 40 under 40” and Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce “Emerging Business”.

Hancock’s first political victory resulted in thirteen years in education. As education found abundant headline space during the special sessions of the 79th Legislature, Hancock’s successful experience at the local level catapulted his name to the top of the list to fill the House of Representative seat previously occupied by Representative Bill Carter and Representative Bob Griggs. In a crowded 2006 primary race Hancock shocked many in the political arena by winning a four candidate race without a runoff before completing the general election where he comfortably defeated his opponents.

Hancock’s diversity of experience through business interest in Advanced Chemical Logistics, Agvantage Farm and Ranch, Hancock Industries, and CKC Trinity Investment, have provided knowledge in agriculture, real estate, environmental quality, and regulated industry. It is with this diversity of experience that Kelly Hancock seeks to represent the interest of those in Tarrant County and the State of Texas. Hancock’s foundational beliefs support traditional family values, financial accountability, and local control.

Hancock married his high school and college sweetheart Robin Harrison in 1987. They have three children, Chloe, Skylar, and Harrison. The Hancock’s stay very involved in the community through school, church, and community events.
